From Times Wire Reports

The FBI is investigating a gunshot that hit a passenger window of a Delta Air Lines jet taxiing for takeoff at Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport, police said. Nobody was hurt. The plane bound for Mobile, Ala., was forced to return to the gate after the outer shell of the triple-pane window on the Boeing 727 was broken, said FBI spokeswoman Celestine Armstead. Investigators have recovered the bullet, which was found lying between the window panes. They believe the shot was fired from outside the boundaries of the airport. Delta said all the passengers were taken off the damaged airplane and rerouted.
